“Hello, this is Nam Seunghyun. I’m sorry for worrying my fans about the current controversial situation. I’m speaking up as there are parts that people are worrying about and misunderstanding.

Firstly, I did not have a girlfriend during Fantasy Boys. I had dreamt of becoming an idol, to the extent that I was trying to debut again. I undertook the program with my utmost sincerity. I was strengthened by the love from fans, and worked even harder, doing my best to pay back that love.

Currently, my contract with my agency has finished. I have now become an ordinary person who does not dream of becoming an idol any longer. I met my girlfriend after the show ended, and we are currently in a serious relationship on the premise of marriage. She is an ordinary person like me, and I hope that the speculations about her will be put to an end.

Because I was still a trainee then, I thought that it was too ambiguous of a situation to tell my fans about the fact that my contract was ending, and that I no longer dreamt of becoming a idol. I feel that things have come to this point due to my mistake of not having spoken up even in the least bit about my situation. I am sorry for having disappointed you.

Thank you for having supported me up to now. Thanks to you, I was able to withstand the hard times.”
